Dear Colleagues,
I have been asked to relay the following brief outline of the
"Phys. Reg. Conference" (SPRBM) in Washington this October. Folks staying
current in E-M effects and clinical applications, as well as the effects of
mechanical strain, and ultrasound on cells and tissues, should be
interested.

***********************************
The SPRBM (formerly, the Bioelectrical Repair and Growth Soc.) is
known for its multidiciplinary scope centering on the interaction of
mechanical, electrical, magnetic, ultrasound, and thermal stimuli with
biological systems. Emerging clinical applications and the newest research
on basic cellular mechanisms are strongly emphasized at these conferences.
SPRBM has a SINGLE SESSION meeting format, involving clinicians, engineers,
physicists and biologists, and has extremely lively discussions in which
all attendees are encouraged to be involved. Lunch together as well as all
functions are included in the modest 3-day registration fee.
